• Neratinib causes significant gastrointestinal toxicity. Diarrhoea affects most patients, is severe in a high proportion, and can be expected to affect quality of life. Based on available data from study 6201, it is uncertain at this time whether the diarrhoea can be adequately managed by prophylactic anti-diarrhoeals. The high rate of early discontinuations from this trial despite intensive loperamide prophylaxis is of concern. It is also unclear to what extent diarrhoea may improve over time for the individual patient who decides to remain on treatment after experiencing severe diarrhoea and there is no evidence for tolerability after rechallenge when experiencing Grade 3 diarrhoea. In the presence of a robustly demonstrated benefit, the emerging side effect profile would not be a blocking issue; however, in the context the deficiencies in the efficacy demonstration, the adverse effect profile of neratinib is a matter of important concern.
